TBH, more than anything else it looks awful. I'm sure there are quite a few great individuals in that tank. Unfortunately, the tank itself is a jumbled mess and looks like absolutely no care was taken in putting all that together at all.
Unless you're going to do that to prove a point, I don't see any other reason. I guess to each his own though.
I still say it's ugly.

Although the water parameters and oxygen are certainly critical. There are much more to it than that.
Imagine if i went around the world and grabbed 50 people of different race/culture etc...then jam pack them with you in a 100 square feet room, for the rest of your life. Sure you will not experience death as the air will be filtered and food served, but it's definitly not a healthy lifestyle. Those fish lose their natural grace in such a small confined area with little to no hiding areas and are guarenteed to have a much shorter lifespan due to the constant stress from running into each other.
To the OP, you should post it on the MFK forum, the kiddies will surely enjoy and praise it, just as those videos of feeding crap to their precious piranhas.
Gee, what an open-minded and intelligent thing to say. Nothing like some good old stuffy fishkeeping elitism. Thanks for helping me figure out why it was I prefer MFK to this place.
This video would be torn to shreds there just as it was here and rightfully so, and you know it.

What's up with all this MFK flaming? Quite a few people from MFK are also members of this forum, including myself. Just because there are some ignorant people on MFK doesn't mean we are all like that. It is unfair to group everyone together like that. Not to mention it is totally unnecessary and irrelevant to this thread. Back on Topic please.
While I personally don't like these severely overstocked tanks, I have to admit the fish seem to be doing fine. I'm sure the owner has to do major water changes daily just to keep them alive. While it doesn't excuse their overstocked tanks, people have to realize that other parts of the world are not as fortunate as we are with space, Japan comes to mind. Their living quarters are tiny and expensive and to take up an 8ft x 2ft footprint for a large tank will probably not happen unless they are very wealthy. That's just my 2 cents.

Like I said, it doesn't excuse their severely overstocked tanks. Just trying to point out a reason why they might have done it.
:werd: Couldnt have said it better TMDragon, and as a fellow ]V[FK'er I dont appreciate those comments made. We are all a part of the M.A.N community even if we all have diff. views on how to stock our systems, the fishes all look perfectly healthy and no sign of illness can be seen. This is a common practice in the East and most systems are overfiltered and very large wc are made on a daily basis, all fish are healthy and thats all that should matter.
